Hello everyone, yes my thread is gone. I tried looking for it to and then I read why the CF was out for so long.
An update on my niece and nephew. There has been no good outcome yet, and in fact things got worse. After the summer incident where my sister did not give her ex the kids for fear of child abuse, he filed a motion against her that she was in contempt for not giving him his visitation over the summer. The kids did have to go until the last two weeks of the summer in July.
I don’t remember if I told you what happen then or not so here it is again. My niece called my sister almost daily in hysteria while at her dads and could not be comforted. My sister called my niece’s therapist to tell her of the situation. My niece had an appointment already set up by my sister before she knew that the dad would get the kids at the end of July. At this appointment with the therapist, the therapist as well as my niece, wanted her mom there. The kids dad agreed but said the child would go home with him, even though his visitation would end in two more days. When the therapist saw my niece when she came out of the car, she was very disturbed. My niece looked terrible and lost some weight that was noted by her and her mom, my sister. The therapist asked to speak to both parents, but my niece clinged to her mother so much and did not want to separate. They got her to go alone with another therapist while the therapist of my niece talked to both parents. SHe told them that their antagonistic relationship was hurting their daughter. My sister agreed to counseling for the two of them, but not her ex. He lied and said he would call her in two days, but never did to set up an appointment. My niece’s therapist wanted written consent from both parents to talk to the attorneys involved. My sister gave her consent and her attorney spoke with the therapist. They are worried for the dad was asking for one week at a time visits and the therapist was against this for it was not in the best interest of the child’s mental health. The dad did not care.
We went to court for the contempt issue last month and the therapist was there to testify. The only one who got to go on the stand was the ex. The judge said there was no more time after 40 minutes and that it would have to continue another day. It is set for November.
Now, here is the latest of what he is doing. Since he saw the therapist there in court and ready to testify, he had his attorney file a motion to sue the therapist if she continued to see the children. Legally, the therapist did not want a lawsuit, so she called my sister and said she could no longer see the children for fear of losing her practice. This is because my sister and her ex have joint custody even though she is the primary parent. He has the right to disagree with any treatment for the kids. He has forbidden my sister, by a legal form his attorney had drawn up, to take the kids to any psychologist, psychiatrist or mental health counselor of any kind. She can’t even take them to a regular doctors visit without his okay or suffer incarceration. My sister’s attorney said that as primary parent she did not need his permission for regular medical appointments and not fear going to jail. We have called several counselors and no one will see the kids without their dad’s consent. In the meantime, my niece has missed two days of school due to severe anxiety attacks before her father’s weekend. My nephew’s anger is worse and my sister doesn’t know what else to do. She was told to go to counseling herself to help her deal with her kids problems, but they need counseling. My sister’s attorney wanted a letter from the school counselor saying what she has said all along and that is that the kids need counseling. She won’t and can’t do it.
My sister made an appointment with the school principal to see if he would put in writing that he did not want to accept her son back this year if he were not in counseling. He could not do this either for it is a diocese rule. They go to a Catholic school. He did say that he would check into it and make some calls to the diocese. If my sister doesn’t get this in writing, her lawyer can’t do what she wanted and that is go to court again and show the judge that these kids need counseling and their dad won’t do it even after the school recommends it and their pediatricians. WE do have the pediatricians referrel, but the dad was given this and still says no way. He is doing this to prevent the counselors from seeing what is going on at the house.
